Green Crops for Summer,

Reports from various parts of the
country bring forcibly to mind the fact
that all localities in the Northwest are
liable to periods Of drouth of shorter or
longer duration. Men may talk about
their own locally free from drouths, or
that the climate is becoming more moist,
ETC., but the hard fact remains that every
where in this vast territory drouths are
liable to occur at any time during the
season when crops are growing Ami
mails running on pasture depend on the
food being constantly grown, and If a
drouth of any considerable length oc
clrs they have very scanty living indeed.
There are two ways of supplying food
for such times. One is TO increase the
acreageo OF pasture enough so that one or
more fields can be reserved for summer
pastures. The other Is TO grow some
green fodder crops that can be cut and
fed out as needed in dry times Where
land is plenty and cheap and labor ex-
pensive theformer plan is best, and where
land is costly compared With the price of
labor. the latter is certainly the prefer
able plsn. Much can be said in favor Of
soiling as a method to adopt throughout
the wear, where land is expensive and
manure very valuable all Of which APP
niles TO the case in hand. Pastures will
sustain more cattle daring the spring
and carly summer than during the latter
part of the summer. In order that the
pastures may have rest to recuperate
for fsU feed, green fodder can be fed
during the heat of summer 70 good I'd

GROVER CLEVELAND.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The following
statement with regard to the presidents
action concerning the proposed return of
the battle flags, was made at the white
house tonight, TO a representative of the
Associated Press: "When the question
was proposed to the president by the
acknowledgement, an important feature
suggested was the return to the loyal
states of the dags which had been cap
tured by the confederates and retaken by
our army at the time of the collapse of
the rebellion. They, with such confeder-
ate fl ags as had been captured
from the enemy by our troops had it
was represented for long time lain
uncared for and neglected, packed away
in boxes in the cellar of the war depart
ment, and had been removed to the attic
as better place for safe keeping. The
disposition of the flags, which seemed to
be answering no good purpose where they
we're, was the main point, and the con
sideration was presented to the president
that some of the flags had been returned
to loyal states upon their request in in
dividual cases and the rest, if desired,
might as we'll all be returned together.
The return of the confederate flags which
were with the Others in the department
was suggested but there was not
THE SLIGHTEST THOUGHT OF INTERFERING
in any way with the captured flags nov
held by any state The fact, apparently
received with favor by the country, that
lately in one or more cases northern
troops visiting their late antagonists at
the south had returned to them flags which
had been captured in battle from those
whose Inequalities they had received and
the further fact that northern troops who
have within a short time bten visiting
southern battle fields and spoke in the
warmest terms of the kind and hospit-
able treatment they received from form
er confederate soldiers and the fact too
that soldiers from the rorth and south
were just gathering at Washington to
meet in friendly competition at the ma
tional drill seemed to indicate that if the
Union flags were returned to the loyal
states which had lost them in battle it
would not be
INCONSISTENT WITH THE FRATERSAL sFNrG-
MENr
which seemed to be prevalent, to offer, at
the same time, so the governors of the
states formerly in rebellion, the re-
turn of the flags which we had taken
from their soldiers. The right of the de-
partment to make these returns being
questioned by the president, such right
was distinctly asserted and pre-
cedent alleged. and thereupon
his oral assent was given to the
proposed action, The matter was
dismissed from his mind until the com
ment thereupon within the last day or
two brought it again to his attention when
upon personally examining the law and
considering the subject more carefully he
satisfied himself no disposition OF these
flags could be made without congressional
action, whereupon he directed the sus.
pension of the operation by the letter
made public this evening.

No Art, BUTT Requires Nerve.

SAYS Mr.. Cross, the London dealer in
wild beasts: | received from a young
Frenchman of good family several letters
in which he requested to enter the lions
den at my receiving house in Earle street.
He assured me that his vocation was that
of a liOn-tamer, and one fine day he paid
me visit, IN company with three of his
compatriots, whom he had brought with
him in order that they might be witnesses
of his intrepidity. He asked me if 1
could give him a stu ,tiOn, and, pointing
to cage in which there were three fine
African lions, he entreated me TO allow
him TO put them through a performance.
| had just time to tell him that he might
enter at his Own risk, when l was called
into the office After the lapse of a quar-
ter of an hour man rushed up to the
desk where I was writing and exclaimed
excitedly: "Mr. Cross, one OF the lion
is out" "Where!' / asked, to which n
replied: "Loose in the buildingr' O
hurrying to the spot found the door of
the den open and the Frenchman inside
with his back against the wooden pRrti-
ton, and two of the lions staring him in
the face while the escaped lion had made

it was meditating mischief to the other
Frenchman, who had taken refuge on the
top of pile of boxes, their faces as
white as sheet. The first thing l did
was 10 close the door leading to the yard,
and pext to get the amateur lion-tamer
out of the den. 1t was well for him that
one of the lions had got out of the cage,
because the other two were so amazed at
the fact that they remained for minute
or so perfectly still. We had great diff

without some danger. After this had been
done / myself went into the cage with no
